Fender Road Worn Jazz tuner dimensions

Does anybody have a diagram showing these dimensions to share? Or can you suggest a direct, lightweight replacement?
Any help appreciated.

GOTOH GBR640 Res-O-Lite 4 in-line - Nickel

Fender Pure Vintage tuning machines - 3.6 oz (102 grams) each.

GOTOH GBR640 tuning machines - 2.2 oz (62 grams) each.


These are direct replacements for '50s and '60s vintage and vintage reissue Fender basses, including Road Worn '60s Jazz Basses.

The only slight wrinkle is you'll need to keep using the original standard Fender tuner bushings. These tuners fit Fender's bushing perfectly fine. The bushings from Gotoh are made with a 17.6 mm O.D., smaller than Fender's.

Thank you. That's basically what I needed to know, though I was also looking for a comparable diagram of the Road Worn J tuners to compare.
